New Football Coach to Speak at Sports Injury Program
Head coach Paul Pasqualoni will discuss collision injuries at a free event at the Health Center.
Having joined UConn as its 28th head football coach earlier this year, Paul Pasqualoni may be new to the school, but he’s no stranger to the game. And anyone who coaches a collision sport like football for four decades is bound to pick up a thing or two about sports injuries.
Dr. Robert Arciero, chief of the UConn Health Center’s Sports Medicine Division; Dr. Thomas Trojian, director of the UConn Health Center’s Injury Prevention and Sports Outreach Programs; and Dr. Thomas DeBerardino, an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine and joint preservation, will cover topics including anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, concussions, and shoulder separations.
Pasqualoni will discuss changes he’s seen with collision athletes over the years. He will be available for autographs after the formal speaking program.
The program also will include remarks from Dr. Jay Lieberman, director of the New England Musculoskeletal Institute, and orthopaedic surgeons Drs. Augustus Mazzocca and Kevin Shea.
Collision injuries are not exclusive to football. They can occur in soccer, lacrosse, baseball, hockey, and even basketball.
